Scam

Hi - a friend reached out to me on Facebook this morning needing help with a family emergency. I sent them some money ($100).

 

I followed up by text to find out how things were going and they told me they had been hacked.

 

It says on the transaction "Your recipient should have the money by February 1, 2021."

 

Is there a way to quickly stop this money from going through?

 

Thank you!

Only your bank can re-call a pending echeque if you used your bank account and its pending.
